Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility of an Adjunctive Dynamic Neurofeedback Training Program to Enhance Wellness Among Postpartum Mothers With a History of Trauma Exposure
The proposed study will collect novel data evaluating the feasibility of the NFB training program delivered in an outpatient mental health setting and its influence on mothers' overall sense of well-being, and further investigate whether enhanced well-being is associated with positive changes in emotion regulation capacities, trauma-related mental health symptoms, parenting behaviors and attitudes, and infant behavioral outcomes (i.e., crying, fussing) among postpartum mothers with a history of childhood trauma and clinically concerning trauma-related mental health symptoms.
